thanks for the offer and we'll keep you in mind.

I believe the board is carbon fibre, tho'. My worry is that in our shallow waters I'll either just slam something or not pull the thing up enough.

I suppose anything could happen... we had the dagger/centerboard break outright at the Nats this year. (we weren't even racing at the time - it just failed catastrophically) Bless Don Wigston and Jim Chambers, who arranged for us to replace it with an F28 board.

thanks again
